This bill would establish teacher retention demonstration projects to be funded through grants provided by the commissioner of education from funds appropriated for that purpose. School districts would be authorized to use the funds to implement programs that address recruitment, alternative certification, induction and mentoring, campus governance, differentiated compensation, and other commissioner-approved research-based strategies designed to improve teacher retention. The commissioner would be required to conduct an evaluation to identify the most effective demonstration projects.
It is assumed that demonstration projects would target about 10% of the expected population of new teachers each year. An analysis of cost information for TxBESS implementation models indicates a cost of about $5,300 per beginning teacher would be expected for the type of projects described in this bill. Based on these assumptions, state costs for demonstration project funding would range from $11.6 million in fiscal year 2007 increasing to $12.5 million in fiscal year 2011. Estimated state costs for the evaluation activities required under the bill, at about 1% of the project funding level, would be approximately $116,000 in fiscal year 2007 increasing to $125,000 in fiscal year 2011. It is assumed that evaluations would be conducted using contracted resources.
School districts would be eligible to operate demonstration projects using grant funds.
